If you have a book Instagram, like me, you might find it a bit intimidating seeing all the accounts with 10k+ followers with perfect photos who are friends with authors. Never fear: this could be you!
1. Find your style
How you take photos is important. Most people start of kind of rubbish, but once you've had your account for a while you should develop a style which suits you.
2. Make friends
One of the most important early stages is to make friends. Chat to people you don't know, comment on their photos, recommend them to others and they will do the same for you.
3. Get involved
If you engage with authors and famous accounts, they'll engage with you. Ask about book recommendations or ask authors/publishing companies if there are any ARCs you could possibly be sent. Go to as many book events as you get. Join in!
If you're feeling a bit stuck with what to do, just talk to other accounts. Everyone is lovely and will surely help! If you have any questions contact me @ruby.books on Instagram.
